The Luxury League organized it’s third edition of The Showcase 2022, a pop up of global talent from 26th March-27th March 2022. Brand India is about compassion, sustainability, luxury, craftsmanship. So why are Indians unable to leverage the soft power of Brand India? Basmati, coconut or haldi…Where is the global branding of India’s authentic treasures? Why can’t Indians stake claim to their glorious heritage?

The Luxury League is a Not-for-Profit Foundation, India’s first most powerful & influential platform for branding culture as luxury engaged in branding India, globally. The foundation serves as a standard-bearer to promote Indian arts, craft and heritage and is a global ambassador for Indian culture. The foundation also aims to create an environment conducive to creative thinking through dialogue and exchange of ideas amongst like-minded people, purveyors of luxury, global decision-makers, and the Government.

A consortium of decision makers, artisans, craftsmen, corporate global brands, consumers as well as the Government came together on the same platform & reimagined the connotations of luxury in a global context.

“India is so Luxurious that every national has the capacity of being the designer himself or herself. I believe Luxury Symposium will take the luxury forward to the world in many ways” said Hon. Minister of Culture & External Affairs, Smt. Meenakshi Lekhi.

“Let’s reimagine Luxury in an Indian context. The Luxury League promotes Luxury as a powerful agent of change through Indian art & craft. Our endeavour is to strengthen the voice of India by showcasing our artistic talents & brands.” Ritu Beri, Founder, The Luxury League
